Macron On US Steel Tariffs: “Economic Nationalism Leads To War”

French President Emmanuel Macron, seen by many as US President Trump’s strongest ally in Europe as the two men enjoy a very friendly relationship, reacted rather harshly to the introduction of the US steel tariffs that came into effect today when he stated that “Economic nationalism leads to war.”

“That is exactly what happened in the 1930s," the French President claimed, whilst at the same time vowing that the European Union would consult its member states and respond “in a firm and proportionate manner”.

Although there had been hope for possible exemptions, the parties did not reach a deal in the end and some in Europe now blame a hardening of the Trump administration's stance towards any future trade negotiations.

Germany’s economy minister, Mr Peter Altmaier, stated that the EU would be coordinating its response together with Canada and Mexico. Mr Altmaier: “We tried to do it through negotiation and we will do it by standing together and formulating a common European answer, possibly working more closely with Mexico and Canada.”

So the US is supposed to accept foreign goods/cars for measly tariffs coming in but the few American cars they import get pounded by huge tariffs. This is the EU telling their people to buy local and if you insist on American goods… get out your wallet.

Kinda like 0bummer saying that people could still build coal fired power plants in the US but he will make sure it bankrupts them in the process.

Foreign countries should pay the same tariffs they impose on our goods.

The fourth reich is cucked completely their armies are trash not one one hundredth our strength even combined with totally non functioning nations like mexico and cuckanada a war would be over in less than three months or else nuclear apocalypse.

It's not nationalism that is the problem of causing war, but rather government subsidies of industries that would fail on their own without taxpayer support. Pride always go before a fall and those that don't allow the fall to happen usually end up with a big stink that should have been buried long ago. it's part of the never ending canabalism of government. Eat your own until there is nothing there then go after someone else……. War!
